The Dark Side of the Moon

Harper Perennial, 2006. Paperback. Pp: 186. A behind-the-scenes, in-depth look at the making of one of the greatest sonic masterpieces and most commercially successful albums of all time.Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon (1973) is one of the most beloved albums of all time. A sonically stunning exploration into dark themes of madness, death, anxiety, and alienation, it has sold a staggering 30 million copies world-wide, and continues to sell 250,000 copies a year. Besides being perhaps the most fully realised and elegant concept album ever recorded, The Dark Side of the Moon was also one of the most technically advanced LPs of its day. It has aged remarkably well and still sounds as contemporary and cutting edge as it did on the day it was released. A perfect blend of studio wizardry and fearless innovation, The Dark Side of the Moon is illuminated by John Harris's exploration of the band's fractured history, his narrative skill, and his deft exploration of the album's legacy, such as its massive influence on bands like Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails.Drawing on original, new interviews with every member of the band-bassist and chief songwriter Roger Waters, guitarist Dave Gilmour, keyboardist Rick Wright, and drummer Nick Mason-The Dark Side of the Moon is a must-have for the millions of devoted fans who desire to know more about one of the most timeless, compelling, commercially successful, and mysterious albums ever made.

Enhancing evolution. The Ethical Case for Making Better People

2007. Gekartonneerd. Pp: 240. Decisive biotechnological interventions in the lottery of human life-to enhance our bodies and brains and perhaps irreversibly change our genetic makeup-have been widely rejected as unethical and undesirable, and have often met with extreme hostility. But inEnhancing Evolution, leading bioethicist John Harris dismantles objections to genetic engineering, stem-cell research, designer babies, and cloning to make a forthright, sweeping, and rigorous ethical case for using biotechnology to improve human life.Human enhancement, Harris argues, is a good thing-good morally, good for individuals, good as social policy, and good for a genetic heritage that needs serious improvement.Enhancing Evolutiondefends biotechnological interventions that could allow us to live longer, healthier, and even happier lives by, for example, providing us with immunity from cancer and HIV/AIDS. But the book advocates far more than therapies designed to free us from sickness and disability. Harris champions the possibility of influencing the very course of evolution to give us increased mental and physical powers-from reasoning, concentration, and memory to strength, stamina, and reaction speed. Indeed, he supports enhancing ourselves in almost any way we desire. And it's not only morally defensible to enhance ourselves, Harris says. In some cases, it's morally obligatory.Whether one looks upon biotechnology with hope, fear, or a little of both,Enhancing Evolutionmakes a case for it that no one can ignore. ISBN: 9780691128443.

It was a war of treachery and incompetence, desperately fought without mercy on either side, but a war of heroism and endurance"-Page 4 of cover. ISBN: 9781840222326. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
